Look down the list and often by looking at the file name or the folder it is in you can guess what it controls. If not, try turning it off, reboot and see what happens.
The worst that could happen is your computer might hang up before it gets all the ay into Windows. Then you would need to reboot in Safe Mode (press the F8 key during the initial boot up and when the menu appears select Safe Mode).
In Safe Mode none ot the startup stuff it loaded. Go into msconfig and turn whatever it was back on.
Little bit of trial and error and you should be able to detect what you do and don't want to run.

At the startup tab, you can remove every checkmark, they are all optional.
